Credits: 3 Achievement Achievement with Merit Achievement with Excellence Apply spatial analysis, with directin, t slve a gegraphic prblem. Effectively apply spatial analysis, with directin, t slve a gegraphic prblem. Cmprehensively apply spatial analysis, with directin, t slve a gegraphic prblem. Intrductin Student instructins This assessment activity requires yu t cmprehensively apply spatial analysis, with directin, t slve a gegraphic prblem. Munt Maunganui is lcated n the east cast f the Nrth Island. We knw that a tsunami will ccur in the future but n ne knws when. This assessment is based n a theretical tsunami being caused by a 9.0 earthquake near the Kermedec Trench. The Ministry f Civil Defence and Emergency Management (CDEM) is an rganisatin that wrks t make New Zealand cmmunities resilient t hazards and disasters. It needs t knw where and what the effects f a tsunami might be. It als needs a reprt that shws peple the type and the extent f the effects f a tsunami in the Munt Maunganui area. Imagine that yu have the jb f prducing this reprt fr CDEM. Yur task is t: prduce maps/images that shw where the effects f the tsunami will be write a reprt abut the effects f the tsunami n peple, the ecnmy, and the transprt netwrks in Munt Maunganui. Yu will wrk individually t prduce several images/maps that will make up a layut n ne side f an A3 piece f paper r in the frm f an A4 bklet. Yu will hand in yur layut and yur written reprt. This activity takes place ver tw weeks f class time. Yur final wrk is due n:

3 Task 1: Set up Ggle Earth A. Create a flder In yur wrkspace, create a flder where yu can save yur data. B. Set up Ggle Earth Open Ggle Earth. Create a new flder titled Munt Maunganui Tsunami by right clicking n My Places à Add àflder. C. Save yur wrk Make sure that all f the features yu create have been dragged int the flder in yur wrkspace. T save yur wrk in the Munt Maunganui Flder, right click the flder and chse Save place as. (Yu shuld d this at the end f every sessin). D. Prepare a dcument fr layut Open the applicatin where yu will create yur layut (fr example, Micrsft Wrd). Prepare a A3 dcument r an A4 bklet which yu will paste yur maps/images. Save this dcument in yur wrkspace flder. Task 2: Create, cllect, and manipulate spatial data A. Lcate the Bay f Plenty Regin Open Ggle Earth. Zm in s that all f New Zealand is shwn. Under Layers, clear the Primary data base (untick the bx) Turn n Barders and Labels Place mark Munt Maunganui Take a screen capture t shw the lcatin f Munt Maunganui in relatin t the rest f New Zealand. Add this t yur layut. B. The prcess f the tsunami Fly t Munt Maunganui and make sure that Brders and Labels is turned n The epicentre f the 9.0 magnitude earthquake that triggers the tsunami is lcated west f Cheeseman Island in the Pacific Ocean. In the Search bx, enter this as S, E. Fly t this lcatin. Create a place mark t shw the lcatin f the epicentre and the magnitude. (Yu shuld be west f Cheeseman Island.) Use the Ruler t draw a line frm the epicentre t Munt Maunganui nte the distance in km. Label the line with a Placemark that the tsunami travels at 450km/hr in deep water

4 Create ther Placemarks clser t the cast nting that the tsunami slws t 10km/hr as it nears the cast (within 2km) and that the range in height f the tsunami is between 4 and 6.75m. Calculate the time that the tsunami will take t arrive at Munt Maunganui and use this in yur reprt in terms f time that the residents f Munt Maunganui have t respnd/evacuate the area. Take a screen capture f yur map/image and add this t yur layut. C. The pssible effects n the land G t Tls and Optins and then make sure that Units f Measurement is set t Metres, Kilmetres Zm int the Munt Maunganui area t an Eye Alt f 11km (NB, make sure that yu can see sme f Matakana Island and all f Maua (Munt Maunganui) in the NW crner f yur image) This scale image / map is t be used fr the tasks that fllw. Using the Tsunami Evacuatin Znes Map / Resurce fr Tauranga City, Mt Maunganui and Papama (Clur Resurce Sheet prvided) - shw the tsunami evacuatin znes (maximum extent) fr a 4 metre and a 6.75 metre wave using the Plygn tl. Shw the fllwing evacuatin znes fr; Matakana Island The Prt f Tauranga The whle area f Munt Maunganui (The land area east f the Harbur) In the Munt Maunganui area there are tw high areas that will nt be inundated by the 6.75 metre tsunami, Maua and Hpukire (Mt Maunganui and Mt Drury). Fr these tw areas create tw paque clumn plygns. Under Altitude, select Relative t the grund and enter 232m as the height fr Maua and 21m as the height fr Hpukire. Extend the sides t the grund. Nte the impact f the tsunami n the landscape and the shape f the land area that makes up Munt Maunganui. Nte the difficulties it might cause in evacuatin and the areas f safety in either a 4m r 6.75m tsunami. Include this in yur reprt. Take a screen capture f yur map/image and add this t yur layut. D. The pssible effects n land use and peple Use the Plygn tl t lcate and label the fllwing; Tw recreatinal areas Munt Maunganui Central Business District (CBD) Industrial Area barded by The Airprt, Maunganui Rad, Hull Rad and Ttara Street Residential Area Frm Munt Maunganui t Girven Rad On yur image use the Placemark tl t lcate and label an area f extic frest and an area f hrticulture.

5 Frm Layers, turn n: Ø Expand the Mre layer (click the triangle) Ø Turn n Parks/Recreatin areas Ø Expand the Place Categries layer Banks/ATMs, Fire, Hspitals, Schls Ø Nte the impact the tsunami wuld have n ther cultural activities (and add this t yur final reprt) Take a screen capture f yur map/image and add this t yur layut. E. The pssible impact n the transprt netwrk Use a cmbinatin f the Path and Plygn tls t lcate and label the majr transprt netwrks in the Munt Maunganui area (MreàTransprtatin) The Prt east and west f the harbur Airprt State Highway 2 and 29 Railway Take a screen capture f yur map/image and add this t yur layut. Key Facts Munt Maunganui and Papama wuld be devastated if an "extreme" tsunami hit the Western Bay, frcing 35,000 peple t flee fr their lives. It wuld smash thrugh Tauranga's entire lw-lying castal strip, inundating abut 19,000 hmes and 2000 cmmercial premises. It wuld have a majr impact n the lcal transprt netwrk. The Prt f Tauranga is the largest prt in the cuntry in terms f ttal carg vlume, and the secnd largest in terms f cntainer thrughput. Tauranga airprt is the fifth busiest airprt in New Zealand in terms f aircraft mvements, with 86,935 mvements during This places it just behind Hamiltn airprt. State Highway 2 and Trans Rail are an integral links fr Tauranga and the Bay f Plenty t the rest f the cuntry. The prspect has left Civil Defence planners praying they get enugh warning t carry ut an rderly mass evacuatin. Calculatins were based n a histrical "wrst case" 4m tsunami and an "extreme case" 6.75m surge.

6 Task 3: Prduce a layut shwing the effects f the tsunami This task requires yu t prduce ne A3-sized layut that shws hw and where the tsunami culd affect Munt Maunganui. Yur layut will cntain the maps / images that yu have created in Task 2. Yur layut shuld clearly and accurately shw: The lcatin f Munt Maunganui in New Zealand The prcess f the tsunami The pssible effects n the land The pssible effects n land use and peple The pssible impact n the transprt netwrk Yu may als want t verlay sme f images/maps yu prduced t get an verall picture f the impact that the tsunami culd have (n the natural and cultural envirnment) and add this t yur layut. Yu can add anntatins t shw where peple, transprt, and the ecnmy are affected. Remember t use prper mapping cnventins in yur layut. Task 4: Analyse yur data t prvide a slutin t the gegraphic prblem This task requires yu t prvide a reprt fr CDEM. Yur reprt must clearly utline the effects f this tsunami and lcatin f these effects n peple, the ecnmy, and transprt netwrks. Ensure that yur reprt is valid, detailed, and based n infrmatin that is shwn n yur layut. State clearly which areas f Munt Maunganui are affected by the tsunami and hw they are affected. Refer t yur layut. Include specific details in yur answer, such as suburbs, streets, and statistics. Use yur wrk frm Task 2 t help yu d this. Hand in yur wrk by the due date. Ensure that yu hand in: a cver sheet with yur name and assessment details n it yur layut yur written reprt.
